From the reviews
I had been researching extensively online for a great Tae kwon Do establishment when I came across Tiger Cho's Tae Kwon Do. I cannot even begin to list the owner/instructor, "Tiger Cho's" credentials and accomplishments!
I've been attending Tiger Cho's TKD with my mom and dad for over 2 years, and I hate to leave now. My dad has been approved for a PCS Move to New Jersey, and the one thing we can't bring with us is Grandmaster Cho. Both me and my parents have moved up the ranks to Blue Belts, and enjoyed every moment of it.
My son, daughter and myself have been enrolled at Tiger Cho's for over a year now. My 6 year old son had major behavioral issues prior to enrolling. Grand Master Cho has worked with him on controlling his anger and has been teaching him to respect himself and others.
We are a family of five, and our three children started at Tiger Cho’s about six years ago. We tried another school before coming here, and it was a definite no go. One class with Master Cho and we were in! He is an excellent teacher who gives all of his attention to the students and their progress.
New to taekwondo? Start at Tiger Cho's Taekwondo Center
Tiger Cho's Taekwondo Center comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Tiger Cho's Taekwondo Center
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
